Intervju: Iryna Khalip om TeliaSonera
Efter Uppdrag Gransknings sändning av ”De svarta lådorna”, där TeliaSoneras samarbete med säkerhetstjänster i diktaturer avslöjades, har bolaget fått ta emot stark kritik. Stockholm Stad överväger att säga upp sina 40 000 abonnemang hos TeliaSonera och Swedbank Robur har sålt TeliaSonera-aktier till ett värde av drygt 500 miljoner kronor. Info Belarus välkomnar TeliaSoneras initiativ till att ändra sin policy, men hoppas att de denna gång har mod att gå från ord till handling.

TeliaSonera: ”It’s not we who violate human rights”
Founder of Info Belarus, comments on TeliaSoneras debate article in Dagens Nyheter, about their cooperation with dictatorial regimes. ”By ”only following laws” in countries with no rule of law, where even clapping hands in public is forbidden (Belarus), TeliaSonera is doing a great job in being the dictators henchman” says Isabel Sommerfeld.
TeliaSonera’s Cooperation With The Belarusian Dictator
In March 2012, the founder of Info Belarus, Isabel Sommerfeld was followed by a TV team from Swedish Television’s ”Uppdrag Granskning” to Belarus. The trip was part of their depth investigation of the Nordic Telecom giant TeliaSonera’s and their business in dictatorships. ”Uppdrag Granskning” can now disclose how TeliaSonera is connected to human rights abuses in the former CIS countries.
Ingen puck för Lukasjenka!
Diktator Lukasjenka genomför en enorm satsning inför ishockey-VM 2014. Han lägger stor personlig prestige i VM-projektet. Det skulle räcka att en enda delegation vid internationella ishockeyförbundets kongress i Helsingfors i maj begär att frågan tas upp på dagordningen, för att det ska finnas en chans att Lukasjenka fråntas detta PR-jippo. Den svenska delegationen består av Peter ”Foppa” Forsberg, Mikael Peterson och Christer Englund. De har enligt uttalanden fortfarande inte bestämt sig för om de tänker lyfta frågan vid kongressen, så nu gäller det att ligga på… Det är här DU kommer in i bilden. Skriv till den svenska delegationen och kräv att de inte håller diktatorn om ryggen. Ingen puck för Lukasjenka, Foppa!

”Two young men, Dmitry Konovalov and Vladislav Kovalev, will be murdered by a European state. Yesterday, the Belarusian dictator Aleksandr Luashenka said that he refuses to pardon the two men. Of course, my thoughts go to the young men’s families in this sad moment. One can not imagine the pain their families feel right now. Belarus is the only European country that still allows the death penalty and the European Parliament has repeatedly condemned the death sentences against Kovalev and Konovalov. It is disgraceful, it’s disgusting and it is inhuman that death penalty [...]
